Event-by-event shape and flow fluctuations of relativistic heavy-ion collision fireballs

Journal Article Zhi, Qiu ; Heinz, Ulrich - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

Heavy-ion collisions create deformed quark-gluon plasma (QGP) fireballs which explode anisotropically. The viscosity of the fireball matter determines its ability to convert the initial spatial deformation into momentum anisotropies that can be measured in the final hadron spectra. A quantitatively precise empirical extraction of the QGP viscosity thus requires a good understanding of the initial fireball deformation. This deformation fluctuates from event to event, and so does the finally observed momentum anisotropy. We present a harmonic decomposition of the initial fluctuations in shape and orientation of the fireball and perform event-by-event (2 + 1)-dimensional ideal fluid dynamical simulations to extractmore »« less

Event-shape fluctuations and flow correlations in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions

Journal Article Jia, Jiangyong - Journal of Physics. G, Nuclear and Particle Physics

I review recent measurements of a large set of flow observables associated with event-shape fluctuations and collective expansion in heavy ion collisions. First, these flow observables are classified and experiment methods are introduced. The experimental results for each type of observables are then presented and compared to theoretical calculations. A coherent picture of initial condition and collective flow based on linear and non-linear hydrodynamic responses is derived, which qualitatively describe most experimental results. I discuss new types of fluctuation measurements that can further our understanding of the event-shape fluctuations and collective expansion dynamics.

Size fluctuations of the initial source and event-by-event transverse momentum fluctuations in relativistic heavy-ion collisions

Journal Article Broniowski, Wojciech ; Institute of Physics, Jan Kochanowski University, PL-25406 Kielce ; Chojnacki, Mikolaj ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

We show that the event-by-event fluctuations of the transverse size of the initial source, which follow directly from the Glauber treatment of the earliest stage of relativistic heavy-ion collisions, cause, after hydrodynamic evolution, fluctuations of the transverse flow velocity at hadronic freeze-out. This, in turn, leads to event-by-event fluctuations of the average transverse momentum, <p{sub T}>. Simulations with GLISSANDO for the Glauber phase, followed by a realistic hydrodynamic evolution and statistical hadronization carried out with THERMINATOR, lead to agreement with the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) data. In particular, the magnitude of the effect, its centrality dependence, and the weakmore »« less
